Course Objectives
KNOWLEDGE BASED:
On completion of this course candidates will understand:
1) Describe the physical differences between a proportionally controlled valve and a switching (or “bang-bang”) type valve.
2) Know how proportional, flow and pressure valves are constructed
3) Know the difference between direct and pilot operated proportional valves
4) Know what ‘ramp up’ and ‘ramp down’ operations are
5) Have an overview of PWM and dither functions
6) Explain the functionality of the driver card (‘amplifier’)
7) Know the difference between Proportional, Servo proportional, Servo jet pipe and servo flapper valves
8) Know the operating speed differences on various types of Proportional control
9) Know why screened cable is essential when wiring a proportional system and the correct cable plugs
